Favorite "Tonight Show" Host: Carson, Leno, O'Brien or Fallon

[Dead2009]

I used to watch The Tonight Show when Leno was at the helm. His headlines on mondays were hilarious, I also watched Conan from time to time but it was after Leno went off the air. Who did you watch and who were your favorites?

I dont know why it wont let multiple votes, as it was set to do so. Interesting.

Johnny Carson. Just classic fun stuff...!!!
I quit watching on a regular basis after he retired.
Leno wasn’t bad, but, it just wasn’t the same (even though I know it wasn’t supposed to be, per se).
Never watched a full show with either of the other 2 hosting.

Carson
Conan

Don’t care after. I dislike Fallon and Leno’s brand of humor.

Carson by a lot. He and Ed were perfect for each other.

Leno by far

The ones I can really talk about are Jay Leno, Conan O' Brien(which I don't remember much of him doing it), and Jimmy Fallon. I do like Jimmy Fallon and some of the things he does like the Thank You Notes and he adds the element of singing with guests sometimes. So I guess I will say Jimmy Fallon

Reruns of Johnny Carson. He is a legend.

Conan O' Brien(which I don't remember much of him doing it)

NBC snatched him out of the gig really quick and had Jay Leno resume, but then retired shortly thereafter.

I do agree that Jimmy Fallon has been really entertaining with him as host.

Hands down Johnny Carson, his reruns are on here from 10-11pm. After he left would watch Leno still Carson was the best

Tonight Show = Johnny Carson.
I like Conan and his show but his style was not the right fit for the Tonight Show audience.
Can stand Jay Leno.
And I’d rather watch paint dry than watch Jimmy Fallon.
